For achieving perfect attendance this past school year, some elementary school children in Boynton Beach received a special treat from the local firefighters.

The children, who were each accompanied by a parent, were given award dinners from the Boynton Beach Fire Department.

Firefighters at four stations across the city prepared a “firehouse dinner” for each group of students from Crosspointe, Forest Park, Rolling Green and Galaxy E3 elementary schools, and then gave the children a tour of each facility.

The special dinners are part of the group Boynton Reads, which encourages students to attend every school day to develop reading skills and a healthy diet.

“By hosting these dinners, we are sending a positive message not only to students about the importance of good nutrition, school attendance and reading,” said Boynton Beach Fire Department Chief Ray Carter in a statement.

The dinners were held June 3, June 5, June 6 and most recently, Tuesday night. The pictures are from Tuesday at station 4. The children are Galaxy students.
